SIMON SCOTLAND​Selsey CANDIDATE

What always strikes me about Selsey is its community spirit and its wide range of small and family run businesses. Having been self employed for over 30 years I recognise the importance of small businesses both to the local and national economy.

We must fight not only to preserve this character in Selsey but to develop it further to make it more successful and provide more opportunities for the next generation. Reinvigorating the Selsey Pavilion is an important step forward for the High Street.

Selsey and the whole Manhood peninsular has been short changed by the lack of sensible options and transparency in the A27 consultation procedure.

Having moved to north of Selsey around five years ago I am proud to call this area my home and to support the local businesses in the area.

LOCAL ISSUES

A27 UPGRADESThis process has been handled very badly. It has created confusion, disappointment and division. After much public complaint the District and County Councils are now calling for a re-run. We recognise this is a divisive issue, but there should be a full and transparent discussion, where everyone is able to express a view on all possible options. .

SCHOOLS FUNDINGOur schools funding is a scandal – West Sussex children receive £402 per pupil LESS than the national average. West Sussex head teachers are not getting answers to their questions and are having to consider drastic measures including moving to a 4-day week.​

SOCIAL CARESocial care provides support for the most vulnerable elderly, adults and children in our society. But budget cuts mean that services are being scaled back or withdrawn. This directly impacts the NHS as beds are blocked by elderly people requiring specialist social care. Recent cuts to the Proactive Care Service is making the situation even worse.​
